Colorado, Florida, North Dakota, New Jersey and Ohio all came out with an average lot size of 10,019 square feet. Those states have very different population densities and climates. Later in the same article it gives data for average price per square foot -- $55.20 in Florida compared to $29.27 in North Dakota, to pick two.
It's deeply weird that these five states came out with an exactly identical average lot size, to the foot, despite their very different conditions.

That makes a lot more sense. Median is generally a better measure of central tendency anyway.
